How’s that for a click-bait title? But actually it was really great. The day started off with my mom and I heading east in Stuttgart to the world famous automaker Mercedes-Benz Museum. It started in the late 1800’s, with Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler who each had their own motor companies, and then merged in … More The Best Christmas Market Ever!
A new day, a new city! Today we left Munich, and went to the large city of Stuttgart! Like other days, we didn’t do much aside from walk around the Christmas Market, and it seems to have probably one of the most expansive and sprawling markets we’ve been to. It’s huuugeee, and stretches down several … More Motor City, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
No clever title. Mostly an easy relaxing day to break up the train distance between here and our next stop. Walked around town. Went to Marienplatz, the main central square. Dined at HardRock Cafe Munich, because why not!? Went to the Christmas market in the Munich Residenz, an extremely ornate and fancy home of the … More Munich
A cold and snowy day. Nice and early in the morning, we got up and took a train to a lovely city situated in a valley in the Alps. The city is stunning, and is far more beautiful than we even realized. (Schnee is the German word for ‘snow’.) The day started with a walk … More Schnee Day
Busy and chaotic day, lots of little issues causing big delays. To start we walked down the Salzburg mainstreet to the home Composer Mozart lived. However it was closed due to mysterious reasons.

Well it was a short time in Graz, and after several really annoying and long delays, we made it to to the salty city of Salzburg.

And … More Dashing Through the Snow, In A One Engine Open Train
A new day, a new city. This time to the second biggest city in Austria, Graz, in the state of Styria! (Pronounced Grahts) It is near the border with Slovenia. We di a fairly simple walk around the trip, spending most of our time walking up the famous and iconic Graz clock tower, situated on … More Going To Graz
Not the music kind of metal, but something much cooler. The day started off with a visit to the famous Schönbrunn Palace, inhabited by the royal Habsburg family for centuries, and twice occupied by Napoleon after his conquests of Vienna. It was originally a mansion built in the mid 1500’s and expanded over the centuries … More A Heavy Metal Day
Due to some misfortune planning the trip, we had to fly into Nuremberg, instead of the preferable choice of Vienna, we took a speedy train direct from Nuremberg to Vienna (which of course was delayed, because Deutsche Bahn.) We made it to our hotel, and spent most of the afternoon/evening wandering around the old town. … More 3rd Time’s A Charm
